Team Development

Are high-performing groups hardest to leave?
High preforming groups are harder to leave because they build a stronger relationship. They can work together without relying on the leader to be the go between or the monitor.
Groups with the clearest established norms? When a group has a clear idea of their goal they seem to work harder. I know that the groups that I have worked with that have had distinct goals for a specific reason they seem to give it all till the end. I have worked with individuals that give more then their share because they know what the results can bring.
Which of the groups that you participated in was hardest to leave? Why? The groups that were hardest for me to leave were the high preforming groups because we build a relationship beyond the project. I learned much about my team members.
What sorts of closing rituals have you experienced or wish you had experienced? The experience that I have had with closing rituals as been any where from a luncheon to a small gift. The luncheon was the most effective because we got to talk about future and past.
How do you imagine that you will adjourn from the group of colleagues you have formed while working on your master's degree in this program? I hope I adjourn from the groups with individuals I can contact in the future. I want to gain friendships and acquaintance with individuals I can lean on for information and support. I want to say talk to you later instead of good luck and never talk to them again.
Why is adjourning an essential stage of teamwork? It helps with closer and to help you see what you accomplished. To me it helps me know I did a good job and what I could improve on.
